 Interesting how we justify history and the actions of others to promote our current belief structures.

Slavery, while an not acceptable by today's standards was socially acceptable in the 1700's.  After all even the founder of our nation kept slaves.  And my the way not all slave owners tortured their slaves, many actually treated them well.  Also not all slaves were dark skinned. 

Slavery in this country should have been banned in 1776 we declared "All men were created equal".  With that said we need to look at the real reason behind the Civil War and it was not slavery.

If anyone is interested in discussing those reasons and not just giving the standard answers, I am interested in starting the conversation.
